Artisans at work

If you’ re wanting to purchase custom-made cane, rattan or bamboo furniture, wooden artefacts or souvenirs the road which runs from Shippers Circle through to the Harbour Roundabout is the place to go. Dotted along it are numerous craftspeople plying their trade from the side of the road. If you don’ t see exactly what you’ re looking for chances are they will either be able to show you a picture of a previous work they have made which will fit the bill or they will make something to a design of your choosing. Not only is it fascinating to watch them at work and observe the techniques they use but it is also a great way to support local business.
